What is really cool is that the 3-D effect works really well! You need to see the card in person to see just how well it works. UPDATED 03/28/2011: Note that a knowledgeable collector pointed out that this postcard is from the 1969 re-release and NOT the 1960 first release as we initially listed. Please do not bid thinking this is from the 1960 first release. Condition: good to very good. The post card is somewhat 'curled' around the edges but is otherwise in pretty nice condition.
